Description:
You don't have to be a teenage sleuth to appreciate the unique blend of CG animation, enigmatic plots, and engaging book-learning presented in the Emmy award-winning series, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego. The title character (voiced by Rita Moreno) is a "crook with class" who sports a red cape and fedora as the world's greatest thief. In this episode, Carmen uses a time machine to attempt a grandiose scheme to steal the first-century Roman Coliseum. The one-hour program entices viewers to predict her next move by answering clues (hint: What do Marcus Aurelius, Hannibal's elephants, and a gigantic electromagnet have in common?). On hand to help are sibling detectives Zach and Ivy; their Chief, a quick-witted holographic head; and the Player (performed by Joanie Pleasant) who probes Carmen's mind through computer conversations. While newer animated programs reflect traces of the show's clever formula (think NASCAR Racers), Carmen Sandiego remains in a class all her own. --Lynn Gibson
